Özet
BackgroundThe present study compared behavioral and molecular indicators of hippocampal function in l-thyroxine treated rats to determine whether thyroid hormone excessiveness produces relatively stable lifelong changes.MethodsHyperthyroidism was induced in rats by daily injections of l-thyroxine (0.2 mg/kg) to their dams for lactation period (MOH: maternal-onset hyperthyroidism) or to the rats itself during the young adult period (AOH: adult-onset hyperthyroidism; between the day 39–60). Spatial learning was assessed in the Morris Water Maze (MWM). Levels of type 2 and type 3 deiodinases, Erk1/2, JNK and P38MAPK were assessed via western blotting in the hippocampus of trained rats. Measurements were all done in rats aged 60–66 days.ResultsIn MWM, maternally treated rats with l-thyroxine swam more away from the hidden platform, with showing more anxiety-like behavior, as compared to the rats …
